An Overview of the Relevance of Human Gut and Skin Microbiome in Disease: The Influence on Atopic Dermatitis

It is acknowledged that humans have a diverse and abundant microbial community known as the human microbiome. Nevertheless, our comprehension of the numerous functions these microorganisms have in human health is still in its early stages. Microorganisms belonging to the human microbiome typically coexist with their host, but in certain situations, they can lead to diseases. They are found in several areas of the human body in healthy individuals. The microbiome is highly diverse, and its composition varies depending on the body site. It primarily comprises bacteria that are crucial for upholding a state of well-being and equilibrium. The microbiome's influence on atopic dermatitis development was, therefore, analyzed. The importance of maintaining a balanced and functional commensal microbiota, as well as the use of prebiotics and probiotics in the prevention and treatment of atopic dermatitis were also explored. The skin microbiome's association with atopic dermatitis will allow for a better understanding of pathogenesis and also exploring new therapeutic approaches, making the skin microbiome an increasingly relevant therapeutic target.
